Andover Barn

Beautiful wedding weekend! Thank you for letting us host our wedding here this summer! We were so lucky with the weather, keeping cool with just a short shower just before the ceremony. Everything was so green, the lake crystal clear for our wedding photos, and oh the food! The barn is a beautiful venue, with naturally colored beams and stained glass windows hanging over our party. We draped the banisters and beams with vines and placed battery pillar candles along the walls. Gail and Pecco had beautiful lighted stars already hanging from the top beams. It was magical all the way up to the fireworks at the end of the night, thanks again to another talented resident of Andover (just ask Pecco). The gardens and field were the perfect places to hold our rehearsal dinner in the tent and setup the ceremony by the apple trees. They have a natural wood/vine arbor installed which we decorated with fresh sun flowers and greenery from the Blossom Shop (also amazing!). I can actually share what it looked like, since Weddingwire used our setup for their virtual tour: weddingwire.com/biz/the-… Aside from the venue being pristine, Chef Brian MacKenzie (brianmackenziecatering.c…) and AJ (Brothers House of Smoke) put on a culinary show for three days through the weekend. Everyone said this was the best wedding food ever, which was corrected to simply: the best food ever. We had smoked brisket and barbecue the first night, to gazpacho and filet the next, ending with a beautiful brunch spread. If you are looking for the perfect New Hampshire weekend getaway or intimate wedding weekend, we highly recommend this place!

This venue was so perfect for our wedding! The barn was so gorgeous we didn't even need to decorate it besides putting fresh flowers on the tables. We fit 150 folks easily in the barn and were dry and warm despite the rain outside. We worked with all the vendors that Pecco recommended for our wedding and we couldn't have been happier at how easy everything was. It went off without a hitch. Having access to the venue all weekend was great and Pecco was a gracious host. If you're planning a wedding from afar or even from New Hampshire, I'd recommend hiring a wedding planner. We kind of struggled to communicate with the venue while we were planning our wedding from across the country. Other than that, it was a gorgeous and perfect day!

Thank you to Pecco and Gail for giving us our dream space for our wedding!! Thank you for answering my never ending list of questions throughout the planning process! We used many of the vendors suggested and have nothing but wonderful things to say about them as well! Dream wedding!
